Seems like an OK deal to me I cant get good meats like this out in the sticks I live in. My question is that it says USE WITHIN A WEEK AFTER OPENING PACKAGING. Does that mean if refrigerated? Can I freeze some for later?

Do I need to finish the whole jar of jam in a week as well? I guess that would happen on day 6 when im running out of time and eating furiously.

Wow, $80 for a chunk of meat moldering and decomposing for a week in trucks and the back of the post office van. How appetizing.
Just think, I saw a better chunk of pork at Piggly Wiggly last week for $7 and it wasn't even rotted when I got it home!
I think somebody bought up the 7000 dead diseased pigs floating down the river in China and decided to get rich quick. 'Seasoned' means fermented in the industrial waste of the Yangtze.

Ok, figured I'd ask because I'm sure someone would. I'm not in a hurry as this offering is too rich for my blood, so I'm going to go back to quietly lurking and window shopping now for another few weeks/months.

So you don't have to ask again, I'll answer your question. This guy:

Anyway, semi-relevant to this offering (not really) but not so much to most people, there's a food truck (Roli Roti) in SF that sells an amazing porchetta sandwich (albeit the only porchetta anything I've ever had). If you're not against pork (or pork skin, mmhmmm), I highly recommend trying it.

I've been making my own porchetta for several years. So when I see this $70 ticket, I nearly passed out. Seriously though, folks, buy a loin and get a decent recipe and make your own. Waaaay more worth it.

Instead of immediately flipping to another page, I thought I'd check out the nutrition facts under 'Specs' just for fun. WOW. A 2oz serving (about 56 grams) has 16g of fat, 140 calories from fat, 190 calories total. Not only would we have to slice this very thinly, but my husband, who won't eat fat, would have to trim off over a quarter of his portion.

Now I do like me some very crispy bacon for an indulgence, but this is too much for us.

LOL "Vegetarian fed diet".
Pigs are omnivores. Is this supposed to make us meat eaters who think vegetarians are more healthy buy this in thinking that a vegetarian pig is more healthy for us to eat? Niche marketing at its best.

I agree..."Stop Whining" !!! Prepaired foods over the internet are often way over priced,its the nature of the beast and the guy complaining about it "rotting" in the back of the trucks etc is absurd...mail order food has been around forever ,even before the internet so its one thing if u think this is overpriced but get a grip...some things are just expensive but it doesnt mean they r rotting pieces of crap !!!

More like "vegetarian FAD diet".

Seriously now, carnivore meat is usually less tasty than herbivore. Perhaps omnivores taste better when fed a herbivore diet.

Trader Joe's was selling cooked corned beef for close to $16 a pound last week. This pork seems comparable to something that one might buy from Williams-Sonoma or D'Artagnan. I certainly don't need this much pork roast and I can make my own but it seems very reasonable for what it is.
